An Englishwoman (Glenda Jackson) becomes a World War II deserter's (Brian Deacon) lover and passes him off as her sister.

Pauline Kael

The New Yorker

The soldier's stupidity makes one so impatient with the unconvincing plotting that one's response is no more than a chortle.

This is strong stuff. It is not tied up completely satisfactorily to my taste. Yet it appears sincere in its attempt.

Triple Echo is [director Michael Apted's] first film. I sincerely hope it will not be his last.

It's a very good wartime drama from the home front, but it's main weakness is that Brian Deacon just doesn't pass for a convincing woman at any time, which is ultimately the crux of the plot.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
